What makes you try harder each day? My children are my reason for doing everything that I do, they are my motivation for continuously trying to be a better mother, wife, and advocate in my community. I strive every day to be the person they look up to. My kids will one day create a family of their own and I want to do the best job that I can to install strong values, beliefs and prepare them for their future.

Describe the perfect day for you...To be honest, every day is perfect because I get to wake up knowing I have the love of my amazing husband, and our two beautiful children. I couldnít ask for anything more. I love going to work and helping children have a voice and making a change in our community then coming home to hear about my husbandís and kidís day, making dinner together and playing with the kids before tucking them into bed.

How do you make a difference each day?I start my day by asking myself what can I do to better the life of someone else? I use this thought to make pay it forward acts such as paying for the personís items behind me in line, or helping a stranger. I go to work and help children have a voice and advocate daily for proper car seat installation by educating parents, co-workers and others on how to properly keep children safe.

Describe your most treasured item in your home?This would have to be our family photo albums. Spending time with family and making memories is the most valuable thing a person can do. I like to collect moments, not things. Time moves to fast and our photos will forever let me cherish the memories I make with my family, and will allow our children to look back on them as they grow old and create their own family.
